Chapter 1299 He Can't Fall Behind

When the topic of her boyfriend came up, Du Juan blushed and said, "He's alright."

Seeing her expression, Chu Xue understood: "So, has the man's side mentioned marriage to you yet?"

Du Juan blushed and nodded: "I did mention it, but I said I needed to discuss it with my aunt, and she agreed."

Chu Xue smiled at her: "You took the day off today, was it to discuss this with my mom?"

Du Juan nodded and said, "I was originally planning to go and talk to him tomorrow, but I received a call from my uncle at noon, so I simply asked for leave."

The two chatted for a while longer. Chu Xue checked the time. Since they were inviting their family tonight, they couldn't stay too late. "Yan Cheng, let's get ready and head over now."

Fu Yancheng naturally had no objection: "Okay."

You can get to the Xiao family's house from here by taking one bus; you don't need to transfer.

When the three arrived, Aunt Xiao Nianchun had already arrived with the two children. Seeing them come in, she said, "Chuxue, Yancheng, you've come?"

The two of them called for help at the same time.

Fu Yancheng spoke first: "Aunt, is there anything else? I'll help you."

Xiao Nianchun didn't know that Fu Yancheng could cook, so she looked at her niece.

Chu Xue smiled and said, "His cooking skills are not bad."

Xiao Nianchun laughed: "Our Chuxue is truly blessed."

Xia Qiu, who had just returned from work, overheard this and said, "It seems I need to urge Shao Feng to study cooking properly. Whether it's his uncle, Yan Cheng, or his cousin's husband, their cooking skills are all quite good. He can't fall behind."

Laughter filled the courtyard for a moment.

Perhaps hearing his mother's voice, Junjun suddenly started crying inside the house.

Xia Qiu couldn't care less about anything else at this moment and quickly ran into the house: "Son, don't cry, Mom is here."

As Chu Xue watched her run into the house, she said to Miao Yiqiu, who had just come out of the kitchen, "Auntie, is there anything else you haven't done? I'll help you too."

Fu Yancheng knew that even if he asked her to rest, she probably wouldn't agree: "You just sit and help your aunt pick vegetables, I'll do the rest."

Seeing how considerate her niece's husband was, Xiao Nianchun couldn't help but wink at her niece and say, "You have good taste; Yancheng is a considerate person."

Seeing Fu Yancheng go to get a stool from a distance, Chu Xue came with the intention of teasing her aunt. In fact, if her aunt's in-laws hadn't caused that incident, her aunt would have been living a good life. But thinking of the child who was harmed, she swallowed the words she was about to say, afraid of saying the wrong thing and making her aunt think about the past again.

The words lingered in his mouth before coming out as: "He's always on missions, so he naturally has to behave well when he's around me."

Fu Yancheng brought over a stool and happened to hear this. He lost all his anger and said with a smile, "My wife is right, so Auntie, feel free to assign me any tasks you need."

As they were talking, Aunt Xiao and her eldest daughter-in-law Jiang Limin entered the courtyard.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Limin looked at the courtyard, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes. If her second uncle's family hadn't been found, this courtyard would very likely have been theirs, after all, her husband was the eldest son and grandson of the Xiao family.

When Aunt Xiao saw her expression, she nudged her with her elbow and said, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and lend a hand."

Although Jiang Limin was unwilling, she knew that the matter could not be changed. Not wanting to upset her mother-in-law, she quickly composed herself and said, "Okay."

Miao Yiqiu, who was going back to the clan's territory with her father-in-law the next day, asked her eldest daughter-in-law, "Haitang, how are the preparations going, Wanpeng's wedding next month?"
